Used primarily as a reactive intermediate in organic synthesis, especially in the production of epoxy resins. It acts as a curing agent or crosslinking agent due to its ability to react with amines and hydroxyl groups, enhancing the thermal and mechanical properties of the final polymer. Commonly employed in high-performance coatings, adhesives, and composite materials where durability and resistance to heat are required. Also utilized in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and fine intermediates for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its rigid bicyclic structure contributes to the stability and strength of the resulting polymers.
